The Spirit of Christmas (2012)
“The homeless man jabbed a finger toward the section of his plate where Mary Paige had placed a scoop of sweet peas. Was she supposed to give more? The woman in charge of the soup kitchen had said “one small scoop” like it was a law, but she hadn’t said if she could give an extra serving of “one small scoop.”
“I don’t think—”
“Here,” Brennan said, dishing out red beans. “Have some red beans. Balances out the peas.”
The homeless man looked like he might argue, but when he caught Brenn...an’s fierce look, he snapped his mouth shut and moved down the line to where Gator slung mashed potatoes.
Mary Paige smiled at the next person in line—an older woman with a dirty shawl and a sweet smile. “Here you go.”
“Thank you kindly,” the woman said before shaking her head at Brennan’s beans.
